Flu Virus Invasion

It is no joke for getting flu virus these days. In fact, this is the second week, continuously, I am down with the virus. It all started with a gastric pain, then slowly to a bad flu, and then leading to an unbearable itchy cough.

I thought a bottle of herbal tea with my lunch every day at work will help me to get slightly better but it aint working. Every morning since last week, the mucus I blew out were greenish and thick. The sneezing worsen when I reached office. Sitting under the air con worsen my condition esp when they were fully blasted directly above me, you can see the post it pad I pasted on the pin board moving, and my mini wind mill placed on the table, spinning. Yes, its like, sitting under a fridge or working in the snow city. Even though I felt awful but I was unable to write them all over my face. Strange thing is, I am still able to eat and joke with my colleagues at work and walked around getting things done. Probably my body has already been immune to virus invasion that I am able to live with it.

I thought a game of badminton would have helped to make me sweat it out but what happened next was a slow developed body ache and worsen flu.

The condition never improve much even after the second visit and taking antibiotics. Then today, even my coughing phlegm turned brown, meaning I might have coughed too hard.

The third time I went to see the doc again with a slight fever and returned home with a bag full of medications that the white little plastic bag seemed to be over loaded. Lozenges, antibiotic, two different cough syrups, flu medication, diahorea pills, gastric pills, throat infection pills and nasal spray. Can you imagine how many pills I have to pop down my throat?? But of cos, I did not eat all those but selectively prioritize what most impt to cure 1st but of cos will have to complete the antibiotics even if I skip the rest of the mediation. Else I would be so bedridden with all the medications working in my body at one time.

Moving on into the third week, hopefully everything clears by then and I be energized to talk again.
